The best beginner bodybuilding workout plan focuses on three days of lifting with the rest of the days devoted to recovery and to cardiovascular exercises. The recovery period is essential for good muscle growth and good overall health; muscles grow during the recovery period, not during the actual weightlifting. The cardiovascular exercises are essential in building up endurance and stamina as well as in fat loss.

[Note: The numbers represent the following: The first number pertains to the number of sets while the second number refers to the number of repetitions in each set. (5:5 means 5 sets with 5 reps in each set)]

Monday

The focus is on the muscles on the legs and abdomen.

Barbell back squat 5:5
Romanian deadlift 5:5
Dumbbell lunges 3:8
Weighted leg straight-leg situps 3:8

Wednesday

The back becomes the focus of the day.

Pullups 5:5
Barbell row 5:5
One-arm dumbbell row 3:8
EZ bar curls 3:8

Friday

The focus is on the chest.

As previously mentioned, the rest of the days – Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday – should be devoted to recovery periods and cardiovascular exercises. Keep in mind that too much exercise, especially weightlifting exercises, increases the risk for injuries (e.g., sprained muscles, torn tendons, and even fractured bones) and illnesses. Moderation is always the key in a beginner’s bodybuilding program.
